Excitement hummed through Seiryuu High's bus as they headed toward Makuhari Messe Stadium. Yesterday's loss had been a sting, yet the support back at school had rekindled something fierce in them all. Students, teachers, even the school principal had gathered to cheer them on as they left, a roaring encouragement that felt like a final push of energy. Despite the weariness of yesterday's match, the team had boarded the bus with fresh resolve, determination clinging to them as tightly as their blue-and-white uniforms.
